South East Training - Enhancing Performance Through Employee Development

Interpersonal Skills

South East Training's Interpersonal Skills Training is aimed at enhancing the individual's personal effectiveness so they may make a more significant contribution to business performance. With the enhanced skills, employees will become more effective in their roles and be able to support initiatives such as general business improvement, or more specialist activities such as business process modelling or business process auditing aimed at improving the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the business as a whole. Subjects include everything from how to become more assertive and communicate more effectively, to speciific skills such as how to negotiate effectively, how to deliver engaging presentations or how to write with impact.

Conscious of the need to minimise the time employees spend away from the workplace, many of our programmes include blended learning, consisting of a pre-workshop assignment focusing on knowledge, the face-to-face event helping to develop skills, and when required, follow-up coaching to assist with the application of the new knowledge and capability in the workplace. South East Training can provide proven off-the-shelf programmes that we have delivered for other clients, or we will work with you to tailor an existing programme or develop a bespoke programme to meet your specific needs.

We should be happy to visit you for an initial meeting or to discuss your requirements via tele-conference or Skype prior to submitting a proposal. Programmes can be developed or tailored to meet the needs of all levels from those delivering front-line services to senior executives.
